Nassau County Legislator Rose Marie Walker, in partnership with
County Executive Bruce Blakeman and the Nassau County
Department of Human Services, invites you to attend one of our
NARCAN TRAINING COMMUNITY FORUMS
------------------- TWO EVENTS -------------------
MONDAY, JUNE 10 7:00 PM START Jericho Public Library 1 Merry Lane, Jericho | WEDNESDAY, JUNE 26 7:00 PM START Hicksville Public Library 169 Jerusalem Ave., Hicksville |
Nassau County has been addressing the opioid crisis on multiple fronts, one of them is educating its residents on the use of Naloxone, also known by the trade name NARCAN. These community forums will help people learn the signs of an opiate overdose and how to administer the lifesaving antidote NARCAN that can reverse the fatal effects of an opioid overdose and save a person’s life. NARCAN is the antidote to an opioid overdose and all attendees will receive a free NARCAN kit.
These free NARCAN Training Community Forums also offers community resources, speakers and information on the latest treatment approaches. Despite the many obstacles that persist, our primary goal is to help prevent drug related deaths and provide individuals in need with a second chance at recovery, improved health, and a better quality of life.
